Lets's calculate LCM of 296,506
2 | 296, 506 |
148, 253 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 148 x 253 = 74888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 894/296,9737/506 is 1/74888
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 296,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,506) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,506) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(296,506) = ( 296 × 506 ) / 2
LCM(296,506) = 149776 / 2
LCM(296,506) = 74888
